masturbating prior to a date so as not to get as excited and ejaculate too early when you're having sex.

If you have a safety orgasm before having sex with a partner you last longer than if you don't.

A safety orgasm also calms your nerves. Masturbation releases endorphins into the bloodstream (causing a sense of well-being and acting as a natural pain reliever) and causes the body to produce oxytocin (akin to valium), which stimulates relaxation and calms nerves.
